Cheese and Jam Slam

Mmmm…..Just the mention of a grilled cheese sandwich reminds us of warm kitchens, no-fuss meals, and casual togetherness. The ingredients are usually on hand, and the instructions are oh-so simple.

But we’ve come a long way in our culinary tastes, and grilled cheese has grown up with us! What’s your favorite twist on this childhood favorite?

Think Mediterranean, with tomato jam, mozzarella, and fresh basil on a sourdough bread, grilled to golden perfection.

Celebrate the fruit harvest with apple jelly, thinly sliced granny smiths, and double Gloucester cheese oozing out of a crunchy grilled baguette.

Grilled cheese for breakfast? Great idea! Try cracking an egg in a hole, cut out of a slice of country white bread slathered in onion jam. Add bacon and cheddar to create a hearty “start-your-day” meal.

So come on! Get your grill on, and dream up your own culinary concoction for a never-been-done-before grilled cheese entry in Jam Fest’s Cheese and Jam Slam.
We agree that it’s hard to improve on the classic grilled cheese, but think out of the Velveeta box. Be creative and a bit gutsy, and take home the Jam Slam prize!


The Cheese and Jam Slam is open from 1 - 5 pm, no judging. We would love to taste your creation!
